What courage she must have had
To believe in her heart
To shadow Naomi’s steps
Follow her to another land
A place she’d never been
What courage she must have felt
To walk the path toward a place
She’d never seen herself
But had only heard and dreamed about
A land faraway from her people
A land where she believed
God would bless her completely
What courage she must have known
To have gleaned from the crops
Of a stranger to her own soul, a stranger
Who would offer her His land to glean
All the food she could gather
More than she would have expected
What courage she must have borne
To have proposed to love someone
She had only known for a short time
Someone who might or might not
Extend a welcome to her proposition
Would he be pleased with her?
Or would he downright reject her?
It would be only a short while
Before Boaz became her spouse
The one who would father the child
Who would make her the great grandmother
Of King David… a man after God’s own heart
Who would also be the forefather of One,
The light of the world, Jesus Christ
What courage she must have known
To become grandparent to God’s only Son!
1 Samuel 13:14 (KJV) - But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the Lord hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the Lord hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the Lord commanded thee.
